You are walking through a curvy dim lighted road that leads to an unknown destination. Maybe the sun is just getting ready to wake up. The surrounding is pale greenish brown that gives you a gloomy feel but it is so magnetic that you keep walking and wondering what is this alien feeling that is forcing you to keep moving to that unknown haven . There’s this crispy breeze that touches your cheeks, gives you chills and shakes your consciences telling you that it feels just about right. You walk and walk till you see the road running out to a huge vast openness. You finally see the beaming chrome yellow light of the sun flickering through the green leaves brightening up the ambience. The leaves just got showered by the winter dew droplets and spreading this fresh earthy smell purifying your soul. It sure is a light winter morning. You want to close your eyes, breathe, stand up still and feel this peace till forever but your lively active surrounding doesn’t let you. You feel the people around selling fresh colorful unnamed fruits. They look happy, they look very happy, something like they found the secret of happiness. Their eyes are glittering with the expression of harmony. They are smiling like there are no problems, no war, no differences in this world. The only existences of life are tranquility and togetherness. It feels too real yet too unreal to be true. Maybe that is when I realized I am in a soon ending dream that I never want to get out of. Maybe this is the kind of world that I want to be alive in where you don’t count the time but can sense every bit of seconds that offers nothing but a feel of saturation and completeness. Truthfully you just feel explicit happiness.
Have you ever fallen in love with a place that you saw in your dream and couldn’t get over it? Here I am with one that is still lying in my imagination with detailed color and pieces leaving me feel “hiraeth”.
